| 2016-01-21 |
| [Iran Press TV] The Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... Daesh [Islamic State] holy warriors have destroyed the oldest Christian monastery in Iraq as they continue with their demolition campaign against historical and religious sites in the areas under their control. Satellite images released by the News Agency that Dare Not be Named on Wednesday showed a pile of rubble at the location of St. Elijah's Monastery, situated south of the city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... in northern Iraq. The monastery, which had survived for more than 1,400 years, is believed to have been damaged at some point in 2014, after Daesh [Islamic State] took control of the area in June that year. The partially restored 27,000-square-foot stone and mortar building had 26 distinct rooms although its roof was largely missing. However, women are made to be loved, not understood... latest images show the stone walls "have been literally pulverized", said imagery analyst Stephen Wood, adding, "Bulldozers, heavy equipment, sledgehammers, possibly explosives turned those stone walls into this field of gray-white dust. They destroyed it completely." Iraq-based Catholic priest Reverend Paul Thabit Habib, also expressed shock at the images, saying, "Our Christian history in Mosul is being barbarically leveled." |

| #2 This kind of tactic works just as well when the action is going the other direction too. |

| #1 Not that anyone is interested in the War on Christianity, particularly since the MSM is allied in the effort (unless the sect abides by the Left's agenda). |
